_____________ is a region where a polypeptide chain forms a uniform helical coil.
A) Beta globin
B) Alpha globin
C) Beta turns
D) α-helix
E) Beta-pleated sheet
α-Helix
A common helical structure found in proteins, characterized by a right-handed coil where each amino acid residue correlates with a 100-degree turn in the helix.
Beta-Pleated Sheet
A common motif of secondary structure in proteins characterized by beta strands connected laterally by at least two or three backbone hydrogen bonds, forming a generally twisted, pleated sheet.
Globin
A group of proteins that form part of the structure of hemoglobin, responsible for oxygen transport in the blood.
